They Said It

?Roy Rubin, coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, after his team lost for the 13th time in its season-opening 15-game losing streak: "I don't think anybody in the world wants to be 0 and anything, let alone 0 and 13. This has given me a tremendous amount of humility. I was always humble, but now I am overly humble."

?Buzz Dunning, Guilford College assistant coach, after Carson-Newman handed the Quakers their 23rd straight loss, on how the winners played: "I would say they were overly aggressive at times, like between two and 4:30 p.m."

?Mike Luttrell, TCU halfback, on his passing record of seven completions in seven attempts over the past two seasons: "My passes are so slow the defender overshoots the ball."
